• Designing for Colour Vision Deficiency: A Scoping Review of Resources That Support Designers in Choosing Accessible Colours

  Connor Geddes, Edward Curran Eggertson, Jonathan Sutton, Garreth W. Tigwell · 2025 · ASSETS 2025: 27th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility

  This paper presents a comprehensive scoping review of 113 academic papers focused on design methods that support colour accessibility for people with colour vision deficiency (CVD). CVD affects approximately 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women, making certain uses of colour in…

• 30 Years of Solving the Wrong Problem: How Recolouring Tool Design Fails those with Colour Vision Deficiency

  Connor Geddes, David R. Flatla, Ciabhan L. Connelly · 2023 · Proceedings of the 25th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS '23)

  This paper critically examines three decades of research into recolouring tools — colour filters and daltonization algorithms designed to help people with Colour Vision Deficiency (CVD) differentiate colours — and finds that these tools fundamentally misunderstand how people…

• Challenging and Improving Current Evaluation Methods for Colour Identification Aids

  Connor Geddes, David R. Flatla · 2022 · Proceedings of the 24th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS 22)

  This paper critically examines how Colour Vision Deficiency (CVD) aids are evaluated, exposing fundamental flaws in common evaluation practices. CVD affects approximately 5% of the population and impairs the ability to accurately identify and discriminate between colours — a…

• Exploring Haptic Colour Identification Aids

  Richard Nguyen, Connor Geddes · 2019 · Proceedings of the 21st International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS)

  This poster paper presents two novel haptic devices — ColourWrist and ColourVest — designed to help people with Colour Vision Deficiency (CVD) identify colors through tactile feedback. Approximately 8% of males and 0.5% of females have some form of CVD, which creates barriers in…

• ACE: A Colour Palette Design Tool for Balancing Aesthetics and Accessibility

  Garreth W. Tigwell, David R. Flatla, Neil D. Archibald · 2017 · ACM Transactions on Accessible Computing

  This paper presents ACE (Accessible Colour Evaluator), an online tool designed to help web developers and designers balance aesthetic preferences with accessibility requirements when choosing website color palettes. The research addresses a significant gap: existing color…

• "So That's What You See": Building Understanding with Personalized Simulations of Colour Vision Deficiency

  David R. Flatla, Carl Gutwin · 2012 · Proceedings of the 14th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS 2012)

  This paper presents a personalized colour vision deficiency (CVD) simulation method that shows people with normal colour vision what a specific individual with CVD actually sees, rather than relying on generic models. Existing simulation tools like Vischeck have three key…
